Story Maps use photos and images that are stored at URL-based locations (a web address). Photos and images you want to use can be stored on your own servers, or using Flickr, Google, and other online repositories. There are currently two story maps – Story Map Tour and Story Map Cascade – that enable you to add locally stored photos or images, and host them for use in your story within your ArcGIS account. Here’s how to use these story maps to add photos or images from your local drives.
Story Map Tour
Story Map Tour presents a set of photos or videos along with captions which are linked to an interactive map. It’s ideal for walking tours or any sequence of places you’d like users to follow in order, with room for exploration.
